I am a Cicada

I am a Cicada

By Matilda

I am Cicada,

I lay eggs.

I can fly and I drop from my nest immediately.

I have a male friend.

He has a drum on his abdomen; this is how he found me.

My babies are called nymphs.

I live underground for 17 years and I only come out when it’s time to have babies.

Henry's 6.6 km walk

I walked 6.6 km over the weekend from my house to the prison.  It was long and tiring but fun!

Beach trip

Dear Parents & caregivers,

On Wednesday 18th March from 12.45 - 2.30pm we will be going to the beach as a part of our Inquiry. 

After eating our lunch, the walking group will be doing a short walk around the beach to build up our KM's and the flora & fauna group will be sketching the flora and fauna they see on the beach.

We need parent helpers to walk the children to and from the beach and help out while we are at the beach.
If you can help please let one of your base group teachers know asap.

thanks!

Week 6 principal awards

We went to the tip today as part of our inquiry into what's in our backyard. We learned so much important and shocking information. Ask us about what we learned! We've all got some reading in our bags to share with you. We've started to come up with some good ideas especially around sustainability, so watch this space for more information coming about what Tautoru is going to do to take action around our rubbish problem!
